Yossi Ghinsberg

Adventurer, Amazon Survivor, Inspiration for the Movie Jungle

Yossi Ghinsberg knows survival like almost no one else. At the age of 22, he made headlines around the world for having survived the uncharted Amazon rainforest for three weeks, alone. Today, Yossi draws on the lessons he learned from his ordeal to show organizations what they too must do to “survive” when adversity strikes, and thrive. An epic storyteller, his unique insights are counterintuitive and transformational.

As an author, Yossi’s book ‘Jungle’, sold millions of copies around the world, aired as a docudrama on the Discovery Channel, and was more recently released as a major motion picture starring Daniel Radcliffe.

Yossi returned to the Amazon and made it his home to cofound Chalalan Ecolodge in partnership with the indigenous tribes of the Madidi. He is an enthusiastic entrepreneur with a track record of success in more than one industry; yet, his greatest passion is developing hacks into the most awesome, uncharted territory— the human mind.
